Xenomorphs levitate around the area with their two pairs of fangs; the larger ones are extended outward from the sides. They do not actively attack Samus, but can nevertheless harm her by physical contact. They will twist their bodies to disappear before reappearing elsewhere closeby, somewhat increasing their chances of making contact with Samus.

Of the three creatures encountered in this mode, Xenomorphs are the easiest to kill, only needing two Power Beam shots to dispatch them.
